Webinar Overview: An important component of providing trauma-informed care to your clients is learning whether and how to inquire about their sexual trauma history, and how to respond to a client who discloses a history of sexual trauma to you. You may be surprised what you learn about the inquiry and disclosure process during this training and how that impacts your practice moving forward.
